Welcome to the Creative Therapy Blog!

We decided to start this blog after attending The Festival of Quilts 2017 and running a competition asking people to tell us ‘Why they sew?’. We were overwhelmed by how many people commented on it being a form of ‘therapy’ and when our team got chatting we all had our own stories of using craft in this way.

We want to use this blog to share positive stories of people who have used craft to help themselves through difficult times (or continue to use craft!). We hope that this will inspire others to try craft (any type!), and tempt lapsed crafters to make the time for themselves if they have not been crafting recently.

To be featured on the blog, please answer the following questions using the form below. We would also love to feature a photograph of yourself, and your projects (we’ll get in touch for these!).

You can use our previous posts as a guide as to what we are looking for, but if you have anything further that you would like to share, then please do! Also, if you feel that a question does not apply to you then please just skip it.

Please tell me a little about yourself…

Where/how did you learn your craft(s)?

How do you feel crafting has impacted your life?

Do you do anything to pass the crafting bug on to others?

Is there anyone you find particularly inspirational in the crafting world?

Do you do anything to share your creations? (gifting/selling?)

What is next on the agenda for you?

Please note that your response will not be posted automatically, however we will contact you by email to let you know when your post will be published.

Kate Hall is the Subscriptions Manager at MyTime Media. She has a little girl (who loves grabbing noses), and is a (lapsed) crafter. Kate has always loved crafts, but found particular solace in them whilst managing illness from 2006 to 2011. Kate's crafts of choice are sewing, cross stitch and baking. She's now in good health, but in desperate need of more hours in the day to get back into her crafting!

Great to see your site. Just for your info. Do you know about the knitting and crochet site Ravelry. Loads of patterns, some free, all with lots of samples made by members of Ravelry. Yarns with links to see how other s have used them. Well worth looking at.
